Alliance No to new nuclear power plants

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Alliance No to New Nuclear Power Plants (formerly: Allianz Stop Atom) is an association of 36 environmental organizations, political parties and other interest groups from Switzerland and its neighboring countries. It came about as a reaction to the plans of the Swiss electricity companies Axpo , Atel and BKW to build new nuclear power plants . Its aim is to prevent the planned construction and promote energy efficiency and renewable energies. Members are parties, including the SP , the Greens and the CSP , the largest environmental organizations in Switzerland, such as B. the WWF , Pro Natura and Greenpeace and organizations that are active in the vicinity of the existing nuclear or nuclear power plants.

The cornerstone of the network is a joint declaration signed in August 2007. The affiliated organizations pursue a common strategy and coordinate their activities with this strategy, without the alliance necessarily appearing by name in all activities of its members. So z. For example, the member organization Swiss Energy Foundation regularly holds specialist conferences on the topics of the Alliance's strategy without naming the Alliance.

On December 4, 2008, the alliance announced that it would hold an optional referendum if the Swiss Parliament approves the submitted general license applications for the construction of three new nuclear power plants in Switzerland . If she succeeds in collecting the necessary signatures and winning the resulting referendum, the new construction of nuclear power plants in Beznau , Gösgen and Mühleberg planned by the electricity companies Atel, Axpo and BKW would not be possible until further notice.
